Cousin Visit
/
We had a great visit from the LA cousins a couple weekends ago. Isabel, Thomas and Ilona got lots of time to play in the creek, build forts, walk downtown and help pick the girls up at school. We had dinner one night with Mark and Clara and the girls were back to their mischief! They somehow emptied the contents of their organized closet (my dot system!) onto the floor and jumped on it. Aunt Mary was not very happy :) but it was great for the kids to have so much time to play together! We love all the cousin time we can get.

building a fairy fort (we strung twine up and stuck branches and sticks in between them - I might have gotten into this as much as they did :)

and then... the ice cream truck showed up! (Emmy has him trained to make a special loop by our house everyday :)
i mean what's better than Dora and Tweety "ice cream" that's been sitting in a truck getting freezer burn for who-know-how-many-years?
oh and Sponge Bob
the our nice neighbor invited us to come pick some Meyer Lemons from his abundant tree. Yes please!
they had visions of a lemonade stand. I had visions of a Sidecar ;)
